| Vorderseitenbeschreibung | Green letterpress note on cream paper with a dense text underprint repeating the issuer name across the entire field. At centre, a detailed line-engraved vignette of the west façade of the Cathédrale Notre-Dame d'Amiens dominates the design. To the left, the denomination appears within a circular guilloche frame inscribed '2F.', flanked below by the facsimile signatures of the Trésorier and the Président, with the issuer legend 'CHAMBRE DE COMMERCE D'AMIENS' in the upper-left corner and 'DEUX FRANCS' in large bold type to the upper right. |

| Anmerkungen |
The Chambre de Commerce d'Amiens issued emergency fractional notes well into the 1920s because the postwar coin shortage in northern France dragged on far longer than Paris-based authorities anticipated. Amiens had been within German artillery range for much of the war, and economic normalization in the Somme region lagged behind less damaged departments. The 2 Francs denomination filled a gap that the national mint still couldn't reliably supply in metal.
Printed locally by the Imprimerie du Progrès de la Somme — a press that operated on the Rue de la République until its wartime destruction in 1944 — the note carries a watermark as its sole security provision. Modest, but consistent with how most provincial chambres de commerce approached the problem.
